They need to pass a declaration of war for the Constitutional proprieties to be observed. Their unwillingness to do so could be our undoing.

I saw Joe Biden on tv yesterday, and he said, "we have." He says the powers given to the President are the "constitutional equivelant" of a declaration of war. Explain to me what difference it makes.

Don't you know yet ? There are people here, who don't believe that they have to have a driver's liscence or a marriage liscence, but they think that the Congress must declare war , or the president is forbidden to do anything at all.

Do we even know that Congress HASN'T granted that ? Oh well.

I won't attempt to explain what Biden dreams up in his half empty head. The joint resolution is an obvious attempt by Congress to put a leash on the President and reserve the power(not provided in the Constitution) to Congress of managing the President's job as CiC.

A declaration of war would sweep away the effect of unconstitutional legislation and unconstitutional EOs which hamper the CiC in doing his job. It would also make anyone who commits treason subject to hanging. There are many in Congress who will oppose a declaration of war for just that reason alone.
